Internode has decided to construct a Darwin Point of Presence (PoP) to augment our existing investments in the Northern Territory.

Those existing investments include the (already operational) Alice Springs Agile/Internode-direct ADSL2+ DSLAM service, and the
completed construction of four Agile/Internode-direct ADSL2+ DSLAM deployments around the Darwin area. (more…)

On 11th October 2011, I spoke at the CommsDay Melbourne Congress event about some of the competition related challenges that exist around the NBN.

These challenges focus in practice on actions that the ACCC should, in my view, be taking in order to safeguard and augment the Long Term Interests of End Users.

The presentation runs for about 21 minutes. (more…)

In August 2011, NBNCo released a public document (http://www.nbnco.com.au/assets/documents/multicast-product-prcing-overview-aug-11.pdf) providing further details about the technical and pricing constructs of their intended IP Multicast service offering over the NBN.

Internode has provided feedback regarding this document to NBNCo.

The NBNCo document is public, and our submission in response is also public.

In our response, we have provided some proposals to change the NBN multicast offering in ways that we believe would improve the outcome for all concerned.

The rationale for those proposed changes is also provided in our submission.

NBNCo Multicast Feedback from Internode

We hope that our views on this topic are of interest and that they may potentially be of use in improving the outcomes regarding this important aspect of the NBN service suite.
